Show HN: qqqa – A fast, stateless LLM-powered assistant for your shell (Score: 150+ in 1 day)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6EZnV
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6EZnV
I built qqqa as an open-source project, because I was tired of bouncing between shell, ChatGPT / the browser for rather simple commands. It comes with two binaries: qq and qa.
qq means "quick question" - it is read-only, perfect for the commands I always forget.
qa means "quick agent" - it is qq's sibling that can run things, but only after showing its plan and getting an approval by the user.
It is built entirely around the Unix philosophy of focused tools, stateless by default - pretty much the opposite of what most coding agent are focusing on.
Personally I've had the best experience using Groq + gpt-oss-20b, as it feels almost instant (up to 1k tokens/s according to Groq) - but any OpenAI-compatible API will do.
Curious if the HN crowd finds it useful - and of course, AMA.

Show HN: I scraped 3B Goodreads reviews to train a better recommendation model (Score: 151+ in 1 day)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6EWNF
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6EWNF
Hi everyone,
For the past couple months I've been working on a website with two main features:
- https://book.sv - put in a list of books and get recommendations on what to read next from a model trained on over a billion reviews
- https://book.sv/intersect - put in a list of books and find the users on Goodreads who have read them all (if you don't want to be included in these results, you can opt-out here: https://book.sv/remove-my-data)
Technical info available here: https://book.sv/how-it-works
Note 1: If you only provide one or two books, the model doesn't have a lot to work with and may include a handful of somewhat unrelated popular books in the results. If you want recommendations based on just one book, click the "Similar" button next to the book after adding it to the input book list on the recommendations page.
Note 2: This is uncommon, but if you get an unexpected non-English titled book in the results, it is probably not a mistake and it very likely has an English edition. The "canonical" edition of a book I use for display is whatever one is the most popular, which is usually the English version, but this is not the case for all books, especially those by famous French or Russian authors.
